Keyboards are one of those very personal items that you will choose. Mechanical keyboards have exploded with popularity in recent years, as have the selections, styles, and variants. Today I am looking at the TESORO GRAM MX ONE, a very budget friendly plank offering genuine Cherry MX Brown switches. Just how well can you do for under $80US?

NVIDIA’s Turing-infused Quadro RTX 4000 sets out to be a super-fast performer for its $900 price tag, but it also brings a couple of tricks. Those include some RTX special features, like Tensor and RT cores, which already come in addition to architectural enhancements that helps the card leap far ahead of the older P4000.

It’s hard to believe how fast these GeForce Turings are coming out at this point. This year has so far welcomed the RTX 2060 and GTX 1660 Ti, and now, the GTX 1660 has popped up. Like its Ti bigger brother, the non-Ti retains a 6GB framebuffer, and proves itself to be a strong competitor against higher priced opponents.

Blender’s upcoming 2.8 version represents one of the biggest shifts the software has ever seen, something its meager bump from version 2.79 hides well. To see where things stand today on the performance front, we’re using 30 GPUs to tackle the current beta with viewport testing, as well as Eevee and Cycles rendering.

Corsair has three new gaming mice that cater to three types of gamer, and those who like their mouse to cost $60 or less. The $50 Harpoon RGB looks to be a particularly good value with its inclusion of 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth wireless. We’re taking it for a good test drive, along with the M65 RGB Elite and Ironclaw RGB.

For many years, NVIDIA has offered “Game Ready” GeForce drivers to those who waste no time jumping on the newest PC titles. With day-one support, gamers can expect the best performance, and sometimes the enabling of special features, such as the screenshot tool Ansel. As an example, Battlefield V‘s launch was greeted by a…..

Over the last decade or so, we’ve seen many attempts at online game streaming services, very few of which survive. At this year’s GDC, Google made a surprise announcement by launching its own cloud gaming service called Stadia. Powering this new service will be custom built AMD Radeon datacenter GPUs. Singled out…..

When NVIDIA announced its Quadro RTX series at last August’s SIGGRAPH conference, we were given many reasons to be intrigued. At the forefront, we have Tensor and RT cores, and not to mention a staggering 48GB framebuffer on the top dog, RTX 8000. Something else that stood out was that same card’s…..

At last August’s SIGGRAPH, it was hard to escape NVIDIA’s RTX. I remember talking to one of our contacts at NVIDIA about the number of renderers coming out in the future that would support RTX in some way, and I admit that I was a little gap-jawed when I was told that…..

As the datacenter market continues to increase in capability, we need to worry about a lot more than just the processors and memory. Interconnects are an integral ingredient here. As we learned just earlier, NVIDIA acquired networking giant Mellanox to ensure that it has its foot planted as firmly in the market…..

At last check, it looked as though Intel was going to win its bid to acquire networking giant Mellanox. This past weekend, though, the rumor mill was active with word that NVIDIA was instead the victor, and fortunately for the world watching, the company wasted no time in making its move official.…..

For many years, MAXON’s Cinebench has been a much-loved benchmark for generating super-quick (relatively) performance results for single- and multi-thread CPU tests, as well as an OpenGL GPU test. With Cinema 4D R20 having released at last summer’s SIGGRAPH, it became clearer than ever that the standalone Cinebench benchmark needed an update.…..

The folks over at UL have announced that a new iteration of PCMark 10 is coming, and will introduce two long-awaited tests: battery-life, and applications. On the battery-life side, this means that PCMark 10 will finally be able to fully replace PCMark 8 for those who were sticking to it for that…..

At CES, AMD pleased Ryzen mobile fans the world over when it announced that it would be handling GPU driver releases going forward. That fixes a rather annoying problem of users having to wait months for an official driver update to be provided by the notebook vendor – a genuinely pathetic problem…..

It’s hard to believe just how fast technology moves sometimes. At the end of January, we learned from Samsung that 1TB smartphones were coming, thanks to its new 16-layer 512Gb V-NAND. As we saw last week, the smartphone giant wasted no time putting that 1TB V-NAND into a phone, as the Galaxy…..
